Any know of decent quality ones or a schematic for one? Dacs are easy enough (lots of great designs out there), but ADs aren't quite so easy to come across.
Anyone have any suggestions for a kit with more polish to it. I've seen a chinese item on ebay that uses a CS5340. Not as nice as the 4222 specwise though. The CS5341 could probably be substituted from some improvement. Anything that uses a CS5381 out there?
I've seen lots of discussion on DAC's, but not much on ADC's. I'm looking for something I can use to copy my LP's for the day's when I'm too lazy to flip vinyl.
i dont know any of those cirrus chips , but they might have switched cap filters inside i would avoid that fact
PCM4222 ev kit:
"Each analog input is buffered by an input circuit employing the OPA1632 fully differential audio amplifier. "
there is some adc discussion on prodigy-pro forums, someone there said this opa1632 has its roots in ADSL world and its blazing.
fishzug - you are absolutely correct. The PCM4222 is very nice and the eval board is a fantastic deal. I have no idea what I'm talking about. I'll be quiet now.
I believe the a few Lynx sound cards also use the PCM4222 (Lynx L22?).
this chip is some 1 year old at most afaik . BTW the very first (discrete) D-S audio ADC described by Robert W. Adams and presented in 1985's AES ( I have the paper , pm ) also used 6 bit modulator front end. Oh I also have some 40 segment fully built Ledmeters with calibration and schematic descripture for sale if someone wants some
well I've got 4 BB pcm 64's I've been saving and most ADCs use a comparator and a DAC internally, so I think I may be able to put something together----or look for the Beringer piece and Hot rod it. Wish A.R.T. still sold the DIO....
I am considering building (as part of a collaboration I hope) a DSD A/D converter but cannot find a technical description of the SACD format. I have made searches on the internet for the SACD Scarlet Book but don't seem to find anything specific about how the A/D conversion process is designed. Any suggestions as to where I can find this?
Oouups, just as I posted my question here (post 13), I found some more information. So I've got information for some time now... No need to reply to post 13.
